    There’s no easy or hard way, if they are willing to join they will.

    Why are you in Lemmy? Explain your reasons to them and why you decided to join and hopefully they understand and join too, that’s all you can do. Forcing people into the Fediverse won’t make them use it of they don’t believe in it.

      I honestly was fucking pissed at Reddit for destroying Apollo so I read a headline about a burgeoning alternative that was fundamentally different in spirit if not in letter from Reddit

        Yup indeed!

        I think talking openly about the issues to people and explaining there are better ways that exist is the way to go. If they are in with the idea entering the Fediverse is a no brainer.

        For me it’s crazy how many public institutions are on private social medias and not open ones where they can set their own server and rules. It’s also crazy how social norms have been decided by the top private companies in the world, if that’s not a distopian I don’t know what is it.
